Request introductions early
Prepare an official introduction, an outline of the delegation and suggested learning questions. Proposed visits to agencies or facilities should be treated as requests until approval is received.
Balance meetings and observation
Pair discussions with appropriate site visits where permitted. Time for internal reflection between sessions helps participants compare ideas and identify what can realistically transfer to their own context.
Prepare a useful report
Record lessons, constraints, questions requiring further dialogue and any potential areas for collaboration. Avoid treating a courtesy visit as evidence of an agreed partnership.
